Book

Description

Every competitor can now buy the same algorithms. So where does lasting advantage come from? AI-Driven Transformation and Sustainable Competitive Advantage follows GlobalTech Solutions, a technology-services firm whose leaders believe they are ready for artificial intelligence while their systems tell a different story. Through this case, the book examines four areas where AI now shapes commercial success: customer segmentation and personalisation, revenue forecasting and dynamic pricing, sentiment-driven customer service, and intelligent logistics. Drawing on strategic management theory and current research in machine learning, the book reaches a clear conclusion. Advantage does not come from the technology itself. It comes from integrated data, cross-functional routines and, above all, customer trust. The same pricing engine or recommender that lifts revenue can quietly erode the relationships it depends on, unless it is built responsibly from the start. Readers will find a conceptual framework linking AI capability to sustainable advantage, a lifecycle model for responsible AI governance, a strategic prioritisation matrix and a five-phase implementation roadmap. The book is written for postgraduate students, researchers and managers in emerging markets who need to turn AI ambition into AI capability.
